Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) is a promising material for drug delivery, but its poor stability limits its wide application. In this work, homogeneous dodecahedral ZIF-8 was prepared by the room-temperature solution stirring method, and to improve the stability of ZIF-8, ZIF-8@mSiO 2 and DZIF-8 (ZIF-8 after calcination) @PMO composites with the core-shell structure were obtained using mesoporous silica (mSiO 2 ) and periodic mesoporous organic silica (PMO) coatings. Folic acid-coupled chitosan (CS-FA) was modified on nanoparticles, and curcumin (CUR) was used as a model anti-tumor drug to obtain the drug delivery systems with targeting and pH stimulation response: ZIF-8@mSiO 2 @CUR@CS-FA and DZIF-8@PMO@CUR@CS-FA, which exhibited good dispersion and high drug loading capability. In addition, we used the MTT assay to assess the cytotoxicity of the drug-carrying systems and selected human cervical cancer cells (Hela) as model cells. The results of the in vitro experiments suggested that the final CUR-loaded drug delivery systems had significantly increased anticancer efficiency compared with the free drug CUR, which improved the therapeutic effect of the hydrophobic CUR on tumors. In conclusion, the pH-responsive nanocarriers provided potential for the targeted delivery of anticancer medication, resulting in a platform for drug-controlled release and cancer therapy.

Hydrogen has been regarded as the most promising clean and renewable energy. Beside the production of the hydrogen, the separation of hydrogen is also an import issue before it can be used in fuel cells. Membrane-based separation technologies have gained considerable attentions due to its high efficiency and low energy consumption. Zeolite imidazolate framework (ZIF) membranes have drawn intense interest due to their zeolite-like properties such as permanent porosity, uniform pore size and exceptional thermal and chemical stability. It is rather challenged to prepare well-intergrown Co-based zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) membranes on porous α-Al 2 O 3 tubes since Co-based ZIFs prefer to form crystals in the synthesis solution rather than grow as membrane layer on the support surface. In this work, we report the preparation of high-quality ZIF-9 membrane with high H 2 /CO 2 selectivity and excellent thermal stability by using 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) as a covalent linker to modify the α-Al 2 O 3 tube. Due to the formation of covalent bonds between APTES and ZIF-9, ZIF-9 nutrients are bound to the support surface, thus promoting the growth of dense and phase-pure ZIF-9 membrane with a thin thickness of about 4.0 μm. The gas separation performances of the ZIF-9 membrane were evaluated by single gas permeation and mixture gas separation of H 2 /CO 2 , H 2 /N 2 and H 2 /CH 4 , respectively. The mixture separation factors of H 2 /CO 2 , H 2 /CH 4 , and H 2 /N 2 of the ZIF-9 membrane are 21.5, 8.2 and 14.7, respectively, which by far exceeds corresponding Knudsen coefficients. Moreover, the as-prepared ZIF-9 membrane exhibits excellent stability at a relatively broad range of operating temperature, which is beneficial for the industrial application of hydrogen separation or further membrane reactor .

Nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) has garnered significant attention as an excellent environmental remediation material for Cr(Ⅵ) adsorption. However, its practical utilization is significantly impeded by inherent limitations, notably its propensity for aggregation and susceptibility to oxidation. This study proposed an innovative approach that using zeolite imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8) as a cladding material for encapsulating nZVI particles. This encapsulation served to safeguard nZVI from oxidation and agglomeration. Furthermore, the ZIF-8 coating possessed suitable pore channels, allowing the migration of Cr(VI) ions towards the nZVI’s surface, thereby enabling efficient reduction. The ZIF-8-coated nZVI composite (ZIF-8@nZVI) achieved a remarkable Cr(VI) removal efficiency of 98.43% under the optimized conditions. After 10 days of exposure in the aqueous solution, the efficiency remained above 84%. The uptake of Cr(VI) by ZIF-8@nZVI proceeded via a chemisorption pathway, inherently spontaneous and endothermic in character. The mechanism analysis indicated that ZIF-8 and nZVI exhibited synergistic enhancement effect on Cr(VI) removal. The protonated nitrogen groups within ZIF-8 facilitated the swift diffusion of negatively charged Cr(VI) ions to the surface of ZIF-8@nZVI. Once adsorbed, Cr(VI) was directly reduced to Cr(III) by Fe 0 , which in turn underwent oxidation to Fe(II)/Fe(III). Notably, Fe(II) indirectly reduced Cr(VI) to Cr(III), while itself being oxidized to Fe(III). Consequently, the resulting Cr(III) ions co-precipitated with Fe(III), forming hydroxide complexes that were eliminated from the aqueous environment. Overall, this research demonstrated the practicability of employing ZIF-8 as a coating material to develop highly efficient nZVI-based adsorbents and highlighted the potential of ZIF-8@nZVI in addressing Cr(VI) contamination challenges.

In view of the urgent need for efficient and low-cost treatment of organic pollutants in printing and dyeing wastewater, magnetic porous adsorbents have attracted significant attention owing to their high efficiency and reusability. Herein, magnetic bimetallic zeolitic imidazolate framework (mZIFs) nanoparticles with Fe 3 O 4 cores were synthesized as the initial precursor. Subsequently, the novel hollow mZIFs core–shell nanocomposites (defined as mNCs) were prepared through a mild tannic acid etching method, designed for efficient removal of organic pollutants from wastewater. The mNCs displayed remarkable adsorption potential, reaching up to 879.49 mg/g for methylene blue (MB) and 262.50 mg/g for tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) at 303 K, with adsorption following the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and fitting well to the Langmuir isotherm. Thermodynamic analysis revealed that the adsorption of MB and TC by mNCs proceeds spontaneously through an endothermic process, and the mNCs retained over 80% of their MB removal efficiency even after five adsorption–desorption cycles. These results highlight the potential of mNCs as an efficient and reusable adsorbent for eliminating organic contaminants in wastewater treatment. Graphical

Hydrogen is the most suitable green energy for the current era, and electrolyzing water to produce hydrogen is the most efficient preparation method. The development of efficient oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts is crucial for sustainable energy conversion. In our work, we construct a hierarchical CNFS@NiFe-LDH/NF heterostructure by integrating ZIF-67-derived cobalt sulfide with nickel‑iron layered double hydroxide (LDH) and bimetallic sulfides on nickel foam (NF). This composite synergistically combines the high surface area and active sites from the MOF-derived sulfide, the tunable layered structure and abundant -OH groups from the LDH-which facilitate OH − adsorption and O O formation-as well as electronic modulation effects from the bimetallic sulfides. The catalyst exhibits excellent OER performance with an overpotential of 236 mV at 10 mA cm −2 and a Tafel slope of 42.23 mV dec −1 under alkaline conditions, and maintains high conductivity and low charge transfer resistance throughout operation. Meanwhile, the catalyst showed excellent stability for at least 66 h during the OER process at 50 mA cm −2 , which demonstrates outstanding durability. Moreover, this catalyst have satisfactory hydrophilicity/aerophobicity. This work provides an effective strategy for designing high-performance and stable electrocatalysts via heterogeneous interface engineering.

Lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries have attracted considerable attention due to their ultra-high specific capacity and energy density. However, there are still problems to be resolved such as poor conductivity of sulfur cathodes and dissolution of polysulfides in organic electrolytes. Herein, a novel ZIF-8-derived nitrogen-doped connected ordered macro–microporous carbon (COM-MPC) was developed by a dual solvent-assisted in situ crystallization method within a face-centered cubic stacking sphere template, which acts as an advanced sulfur host for enhanced Li–S battery performance. Compared with the conventional predominant microporous C-ZIF-8, the unique hierarchical macro–microporous structure with nitrogen doping not only renders polysulfide intermediates enhanced entrapment by confining the effect of micropores and chemisorption of doping N atoms, but also facilitates electrolyte accessibility and efficient ion transport owing to the ordered macroporous structure. Benefitting from this, the COM-MPC@S cathode delivers a high initial specific capacity of 1498.5 mA h g−1 and a reversible specific capacity of 1118.9 mA h g−1. Moreover, the COM-MPC@S cathode exhibits 82.3% of capacity retention within 10th to 50th cycle at 0.5C and a large capacity of 608.5 mA h g−1 after 50 cycles at a higher rate of 1C, and this enhanced cycling stability and rate capability demonstrate great practical application potential in Li–S battery systems.

A SERS substrate FP/Ag/ZIF-8 composed of filter paper (FP), silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) film arranged in a layered structure was developed for sensitive detection of pesticide thiram in various samples. Roles of these components in analyte adsorption and Raman signal enhancement were studied using a pesticide intermediate 4-Aminothiophenol (4-ATP) as the probe. The substrate showed high adsorption and optimized SERS response with thick metal organic framework (MOF) coating (125 nm), which is different from previous reported plasmonic particle-MOF composite substrate, where thinnest MOF coating produced the strongest SERS signal. Detection limit for 4-ATP improved 1000-fold on FP/Ag/ZIF-8 (3 pM) compared with that on FP/Ag (3 nM). Importantly, the FP/Ag/ZIF-8 with porous and flexible property can efficiently capture pesticide thiram in different real samples using soaking, filtration or swabbing operation. The subsequent SERS detection of thiram showed advantages of low detection limit (soaking, LOD: 0.04 nM in lake water), fast detection (filtration, within 1 min in peach juice) and suitable for curve surface analysis (swabbing, LOD: 0.1 ng/cm 2 on apple peel), respectively. The substrate also displayed good reproducibility, high stability and size-selective response for thiram detection. Such a layered plasmonic particle/MOF hybrid may hold great promise for toxicant analysis in environment and food.

Amino acids found in minor coarse cereals are essential for human growth and development and play a crucial role in efficient and rapid quantitative detection. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) enables nondestructive, efficient, and rapid sample detection. Traditional SERS detection efficiency is constrained by the use of a single target. In this study, three different amino acids (cysteine, valine, and tryptophan) were detected simultaneously using a ZIF-8@AuNPs composite substrate. The linear range of detection was 10−3to 10−1M, with limits of detection (LODs) of 2.40 × 10−4M, 2.24 × 10−4M, and 1.55 × 10−4M, respectively. Same linear ranges and LODs were achieved with a one-dimensional convolutional neural network method. Furthermore, this substrate enabled the effective detection of amino acids in millet and efficient detection of cysteine in health products. This study presents a novel method for simultaneous detection of multiple analytes.

Chitosan film is frequently used to preserve food. However, the stability of chitosan film is poor, so it is crucial to strengthen the stability, anti-ultraviolet, antibacterial activity, anti-oxidation and continuous fresh-keeping activity of chitosan film. In this work, paeonol@ZIF-8 and Ag 2 CO 3 /Ag 2 O nano-heterojunctions were dispersed into chitosan/kudzu-based solution by matrix mixing and solution casting method, which successfully prepared a biodegradable nanocomposite film and used it for preservation of raspberry. Moreover, ZIF-8 provided a large number of active sites to PAE. The loading rate of PAE@ZIF-8 was 36.33 ± 0.82 % by a simple one-pot process. The paeonol@ZIF-8 had the effect of slow release in different food environments and intelligent response to pH. The Ag 2 CO 3 /Ag 2 O nano-heterojunctions also cooperated to inhibit bacteria by releasing silver ions. Meanwhile, the physical and chemical properties of chitosan film were improved, which could make it more suitable for food packaging. The improved film could block 90.32 % of UV–visible light. Moreover, its antioxidant and antibacterial properties were increased by 1.24 times and 4 times, respectively. It could extend the shelf life of raspberries to 5 days as the hydrophobic film. The nanocomposite film also effectively maintained cucumber slice quality. It also found that the migrating silver ion content of raspberry and cucumber slice complied with EU food safety law regulations. Importantly, the nanocomposite film was degradable and did not affect the germination and growth of the seed. Our work provides a sustainable multifunctional food packaging material that can be used to preserve perishable foods.

Formaldehyde sensors represent an effective technology for real-time, online monitoring of formaldehyde concentrations. The selectivity of gas-sensitive materials for formaldehyde is a fundamental determinant of sensor performance and is crucial for the development of formaldehyde sensing technology. In this work, Sn-doped Zn-MOFs were employed to fabricate SnO 2 /ZnO micro-nano materials, and their selective response behaviors to formaldehyde were systematically explored. The results demonstrate that 5 % SnO 2 /ZnO, prepared with 5 % Sn doping, exhibits exceptional selectivity for formaldehyde. Under testing conditions of 170 °C and relative humidity below 60 %, the 5 % SnO 2 /ZnO sensor achieved a selectivity coefficient of 0.87 toward 50 ppm formaldehyde, with a response value of 72.8, response and recovery times of 81/30 s, a linear regression coefficient of 0.9997, and a minimum detection limit of 0.047 ppm. Moreover, the 5 % SnO 2 /ZnO sensor demonstrates excellent selectivity, anti-interference capability, and stability for formaldehyde detection. The enhanced formaldehyde selectivity is attributed to the high specific surface area, abundant pore structure, abundant oxygen vacancies, and n–n heterojunctions present in the 5 % SnO 2 /ZnO composite.

Ochratoxin A (OTA) as a mycotoxin has strong carcinogenicity and can affect human health. Thus, it is necessary to establish an accurate method to detect OTA. Herein, a ratiometric absorbance and fluorescence dual model immunoassay based on ZIF-8@uranine (ZIF-8@UR) and p -nitrophenol (PNP) was developed. In this new immunoassay, alkaline phosphatase-labeled secondary antibodies (IgG-ALP) were used to associate OTA with signal output. The IgG-ALP can hydrolyze 4-nitrophenyl phosphate salt (PNPP) to generate yellow PNP and phosphate (Pi). Then, the Pi triggered the decomposition of ZIF-8@UR to release UR with a fluorescence signal. The absorbance ratio of PNP and UR was taken as a ratiometric absorbance signal. The ratiometric absorbance and fluorescence modes exhibited linear ranges of 0.781–50.0 ng/mL and 1.563–100.0 ng/mL, with limits of detection (LODs) of 0.112 ng/mL and 0.147 ng/mL, respectively. Meanwhile, the new immunoassay showed high specificity for OTA and satisfactory recovery rate in actual samples.

The hyperglycemic microenvironment of diabetic chronic wounds is a major driver of severe bacterial infections, excessive inflammatory responses, and impaired angiogenesis, all of which delay wound healing. To address these challenges, we prepared a glucose oxidase (GOx)–loaded zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (GOx@ZIF-8). Furthermore, a multifunctional hydrogel (AACZ) was fabricated by incorporating 5-methylfurfural– and L-arginine–grafted alginate and maleimide–grafted chondroitin sulfate with GOx@ZIF-8 through the Diels–Alder reaction. Results showed that immobilized GOx remained active for a longer time than of free GOx. At the wound site, GOx catalyzed the conversion of excess glucose to gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ). The reduced pH in the local region induced Zn 2+ release from zeolitic imidazolate framework-8, simultaneously, H 2 O 2 mediated the generation of nitric oxide (NO) from L-arginine. The synergy between Zn 2+ and NO endowed AACZ with excellent antibacterial properties. The biocompatible hydrogel promoted cell proliferation and migration, regulated local blood glucose levels, inhibited bacterial activity, alleviated inflammation and promoted angiogenesis and collagen deposition at the diabetic wound site. These findings suggest that AACZ holds promise as a responsive dressing material in healing for complex wounds.
